Re: OpenXSensor project page on google code
Kalle, Please accept my apologies, what I was saying is that I forgot about the common ground when connecting it up as I used a separate battery in the receiver. That picture shows an Arduino Uno which is for testing purposes. I will be using an Arduino Pro Mini to build the actual altimeter/vario. ...

Re: OpenXSensor project page on google code
Forgot about the common ground, in my prototype, I used the 5V from the USB to power the Arduino and a receiver battery in the receiver. with the actual build, the receiver battery (6V) will power the Arduino. I didn't think the configurator worked with the newer versions of oXs, also I assume it is...

Re: OpenXSensor project page on google code
The sensor appears to work OK using the SparkFun library and wiring is correct, photograph attached as well as the basic & advanced config files and the bmp280.h file Any help would be much appreciated. PS. the sketch for testing the sensor using the Adafruit library was quite different and I co...

Re: OpenXSensor project page on google code
Well my BMP280 sensor arrived, I soldered it up, connected everything up (for testing purposes I used an Arduino Uno R3), altered the basic and advanced config.h files. Uploaded without errors and ................. nothing! I've either missed something somewhere or knackered the sensor when solderin...

Re: OpenXSensor project page on google code
I have done a few Arduino projects in the past, although not as complicated as the Altimeter/Vario. I think I have a reasonable idea what I need to do, time will tell though. Components due to arrive next week.
Thanks

Re: OpenXSensor project page on google code
Thank you so much for replying Kalle. #1. Arduino installed and working #2. Code downloaded and installed in Arduino #3. I have started reading through the documentation and beginning to understand what I need to do. ( I may have questions though, when I build the Altimeter/Vario! ) #4. I have order...

Re: OpenXSensor project page on google code
I have posted on an old thread but found this one and thought I'd try it. A would like to build an openXsensor Vario to work on my Multiplex TX's. Firstly, what version do I need if I am using a BMP280 sensor and how is it connected to the Arduino as there are more connections than the BMP180? What ...

Re: Multiplex M-Link support for OpenXVario
I know it's been a while since this thread was used, but hoping someone picks this up. I am looking to build an Arduino based various for Multiplex but don't know where to start. Can anyone help me out please, it would be much appreciated.
